Communication is a process beginning with a sender who encodes the message and passes it through some channel to the receiver who decodes the message. Communication is fruitful if and only the messages sent by the sender is interpreted with same meaning by the receiver. Though some people are excellent communicators, the receiver may understand it wrongly. There are certain things that disrupt the flow of communication. In such a situation, communication suffers a breakdown. Something that interferes with the flow of communication or prevents the smooth passage of a message can be called communication breakdown or barrier. To avoid the situations where the meaning of a message gets distorted in the communication process, first of all we have to 1) identify the cause 2) find the solution 3) Apply the best solution and 4) follow through. If we follow these four steps, we can learn to become good communicators. Good communication means conveying the message well without creating any noise or barrier to the receiver. The most practical way or approach to get rid of communication barriers is to communicate more and more and at different levels. One way of reducing the effects of these barriers is to check continuously during the communication process what the message really is. There are many actions that we can take to surpass the barriers. Communication barriers can also exist due to difference in the ideologies or the presence of conflicts. It is essential that we identify our communication barriers and work towards rectifying it. The most practical way or approach to get rid of communication barriers is to communicate more and more and at different levels.
